POST message Description
162 A change in device configuration occurred. This error occurs
under one or more of the following conditions:
Ÿ
A new device has been installed.
Ÿ
A device has been moved to a different location or cable
connection.
Ÿ
A device has been removed or disconnected from a cable.
Ÿ
A device is failing and is no longer recognized by the server
as being installed.
Ÿ
An external device is not turned on.
Ÿ
Microprocessor update code has not been installed or cannot
be found.
Ÿ
The Erasing Lost or Forgotten Passwords procedure was
performed. This procedure also erases configuration data.
Ÿ
An invalid checksum is detected in CMOS memory
(nonvolatile RAM).
Action:
1. Verify that all external devices are turned on. You must turn
on external devices before turning on the server.
2. Verify that all devices are properly installed and securely
connected.
3. If you added, removed, or changed the location of a device,
or if you erased passwords, you must save the new
configuration in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
See “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on
page 39 for further information and instructions on saving
the configuration.
4. If you changed the microprocessor, you must use the
Configuration/Setup Utility program to update the settings.
You must also update the server configuration. See
“Updating the server configuration” on page 153 for
instructions.
5. If you did not add, remove, or change the location of a
device, a device is probably failing. Running the diagnostic
tests might isolate the failing device, but you must have the
system serviced. (See “Running the diagnostic test
programs” on page 164 for information on running the
diagnostic programs that come with your server.)
If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the system
serviced.
